Football being a team sport it is almost always irrelevant to single out one or two players from a team but in certain circumstances it is just realistic to applaud a players individual brilliance.
Real Madrid may be a complete team but Cristiano Ronaldo completes the puzzle more often than not, When it comes to Barcelona ofcourse who can ignore the services of Lionel Messi?, For MTN/ FAZ super league defending champions, Sensational Zanaco Football club or the Bankers as they are popularly known that one standout player is Augustine Mulenga.
The quick winger has been a marvel to watch this Season . The trademark blistering runs into the opponents 18 yard area, The trickery to leave defenders flat footed, The set-pieces and then the assists and the goals.
In Sunday’s match against Nakambala Leopards he did not score but made two assists and basically stole the day and turned it into an Augustine Mulenga show.
The Bankers are in a tough group D in the CAF Champions league alongside Cotton Sport of Cameroon,Wydad Casablanca of Morocco and Al Ahly of Egypt and they start that journey with a crucial away encounter against Al Ahly in Cairo this weekend.
Numba Mumamba and his technical team will need to keep Mulenga fit and happy if they want to see their hopes of progressing further in this compe come to reality.
